Linux Fedora setup: install PHP 5, Pure-FTPd, and more

I have a dedicated Linux server running Fedora. Currently it is running php 4.4.x, Apache 1.3.x, MySQL 4.1.x, Pure-FTPd, and WebMin control pannel. Here's what I need done: Latest version of PHP 5 compiled with PECL ectensions: -- APC extension: [login to view URL] -- JSON extension: [login to view URL] must have these regular extensions: -- Perl Compatible Regular Expressions extension for PHP 4.3.0+ and higher -- cURL extension for PHP 4.3.0+ and higher with SSL support -- OpenSSL extension for PHP 4.3.0+ and higher (for digital certificate transcoding) I'll provide a full list of php compile directives but the 3 above are necessary for PayPal Pro Pure-FTPd: I need to get Pure-FTPd configured to use the MySQL authentication option w/ encrypted passwords (passwords can be stored in MySQL table as non-encrypted or encypted) Currrently Pure-FTPd is running as the ftp server in SFTP mode but not using the MySQL authentication option. --EXPERTS ONLY, PLEASE-- Please do not apply if you are not an Apache / Fedora / dedicated server EXPERT. My regular admin guy was not able to configure Pure-FTPd with MySQL authentcation and he didn't have time to compile the APC PHP extension.
